Lost Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 They have a table full of small Shad Raps (floating, sinking, and suspending) on clearance. The sign said something about a manufacturers discontinued item clearance sale.The big store in Forest Lake has some awesome deals on their clearance tables. Nice store too. Has almost everything you would want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikerliker Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Gander is coming to Mankato! I'm very pumped! It's going to be a big store too. They are taking over one of the new K'mart buildings that went out of business a few years ago. Now I don't have to drive an hour to get to a big store! ~piker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbuck Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Thats going to be nice. Any word as to when it will be open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 I went to the new one in Forest Lake. Nice store. I'm probably going to head up there today to take my time looking around. Last time I was in a hurry and it was close to closing time. My girlfriend's kid was extremely excited about the 4 wheelers. I knew where to find him while I was grabbing what I needed.

pikerliker Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Arbuck I don't know the exact date, but they are just about finished with the exterior. I'm guessing within the next month or so. ~piker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMITOUT Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 It's on the south side of I-94, accessible from the 45th Ave. exit (Flying J, McDonalds, Tesoro on the north side). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalGuide Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Either the gander mountain in Mankato isnt totally finished on the exterior or they only rented out (bought w/e) 1/2 of the K-Mart builing.The reason I say that is b/c on the out side they have the entry way and a green border around the outside...well the border stops 1/2 down the front side of the builing. But the building is still going to be pretty big. But either way im pumped also, finally a store close to home that will supply me with some solid fishing gear! I take it, the store should be open just in time for the hard water season. That will be nice! ------------------And keep those hooks sharp!

Koolguie Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 Has anyone been out to Reel Fishing and Tackle in Madison Lake, MN? They have had new owners since February and have greatly expanded their inventory and can meet or beat alot of Gander Mtn's prices, plus you deal with someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to fishing. Their ice fishing selection is enormous and carry all sorts of rods, reels, augers, ice houses, electronics and tons of tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMike Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 It's about time they put a bigger/better store in Woodbury! The one they have now is so dinky/cramped! Hopefully it's a nice big one like Forest Lake/Lakeville! I'll only be about 2 minutes from new store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
